YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily of Armenia writes: About 500 people took part in the march with [acting PM] Nikol Pashinyan in Vanadzor, which has a population of 84 thousand.
The provincial governor of Lori, Aram Khachatryan, made a great effort to fill the 500-seat hall of the [town’s] palace of culture; they called all the village heads, the directors of schools and medical institutions of the province.
He [Khachatryan] personally telephoned many people and said, "Bring people with you."
Family members and relatives of the provincial governor were in the hall. And there were about a hundred volunteer people; the rest came with Pashinyan—from Yerevan and other provinces.
According to the residents of Vanadzor, the employees of the provincial hall even persuaded vagrants from the market, the area near the church and took them to the meeting.
